Mermaid stuck in a tree - April 21st, 2015

Bobby was circling the sky outside the nest when I arrived at Washington Square Park today:

He tucked in and darted northeast of the park. I found him on the top of a favorite building overlooking Broadway:

He flew off after 8 minutes and circled just north of the park:

Two Turkey Vultures passed by, heading east. One of the pair:

A gentleman who had noticed me photographing the pigeon apparently couldn't resist taking photos of it either and who could blame him?

This blog was originally going to be about my discoveries around town so little did I know it'd eventually be all about the Washington Square Park Hawks!
